| GREATER OMAHA CHAPTER CHAPTER - Mar 05, 2020 |
Omaha Metropolitan Science and Engineering Fair |
The chapter is a long-time participant in the Omaha Metropolitan Science and Engineering Fair (MSEF) and one of several organizations that provide special awards for select projects falling within the scope of the chapter's goals. These projects are typically pre-established based on the project abstracts, but the chapter has always been open to additional projects that fall within the purview of the chapter goals. Sometimes this can't be ascertained until actually walking amidst the different project offerings. In addition, the chapter has been the MSEF honorary chair since 2017 under the leadership of Col. Sean Murphy, USAF, chapter president. As the honorary chair, the chapter's exposure has increased significantly, which has enhanced and furthered the mission and educational outreach to the community. |
